Ananova:

A Chinese driver has been fined for driving with an intravenous drip in his arm.

Police in Laishan city stopped a slowly moving car and were surprised to find the driver with an IV bottle hanging from his rear-view mirror and connected to his left arm.

"Only his right hand was free to control the wheel and change gears," a police spokesman said.

The driver, Mr Sun, told police he had got sick of waiting for treatment at a clinic and decided to drive home.

"I thought as long as I drove slowly there would be no danger," he said.

Police fined Sun 50 yuan, the equivalent of £3.50, and gave him a serious warning, reports Qilu Evening News.
